>> Ainsley: A FOX NEWS ALERT.
RIGHT NOW, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
MAKING IT OFFICIAL.
ANNOUNCING HIS 2024 RE-ELECTION
CAMPAIGN.
>> FREEDOM, PERSONAL FREEDOM, IS
FUNDAMENTAL TO WHO WE ARE AS
AMERICANS.
>> THERE’S NOTHING MORE
IMPORTANT.
NOTHING MORE SACRED.
>> THAT’S BEEN THE WORK OF MY
FIRST TERM, TO FIGHT FOR OUR
DEMOCRACY.
>> THIS SHOULDN’T BE A RED OR
BLUE ISSUE.
>> TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS, TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IN THIS
COUNTRY IS TREATED EQUALLY AND
THAT EVERYONE IS GIVEN A FAIR
SHOT AT MAKING IT.
BUT, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE
COUNTRY, MAGA EXTREMISTS ARE
LYING ON TO TAKE ON THOSE
BEDROCK FREEDOMS, CUTTING SOCIAL
SECURITY THAT YOU PAID FOR YOUR
ENTIRE LIFE WHILE PAYING TAXES
FOR THE WILL WILL WEALTHY.
BACKING BOOKS AND TELLING PEOPLE
WHO THEY COULD LOVE ALL MAKING
IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO BE
ABLE TO VOTE.
♪ WHEN I RAN FOR PRESIDENT FOUR
YEARS AGO, I SAID WE WERE IN A
BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF AMERICA.
AND WE STILL ARE.
THE QUESTION WE ARE FACING IS
WHETHER THE YEARS AHEAD WE HAVE
MORE FREEDOM OR LESS FREEDOM.
MORE RIGHTS OR FEWER.
I KNOW WHAT I WANT THE ANSWER TO
BE AND I THINK YOU DO, TOO.
THIS IS NOT A TIME TO BE
COMPLACENT.
THAT’S WHY I’M RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION.
BECAUSE I KNOW AMERICA.
I KNOW WE’RE GOOD AND DECENT
PEOPLE.
I KNOW WE ARE STILL A COUNTRY
THAT BELIEVES IN HONESTY AND
RESPECT AND TREATING EACH OTHER
WITH DIGNITY.
THAT WE’RE A NATION WHERE WE
GIVE HATE NO SAFE HARBOR.
WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE IS
EQUAL.
THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE GIVEN A
FAIR SHOT TO SUCCEED IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING US.
>> EVERY GENERATION OF AMERICA
HAS FACED A MOMENT WHEN THEY
HAVE TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY.
STAND UP FOR OUR PERSONAL
FREEDOM.
STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE
AND OUR VILLANOVA RIGHTS. AND THIS IS OUR MOMENT.
AND THIS IS OUR MOMENT.

>> WE THE PEOPLE.
>> BIDEN.
[CHEERS]
>> SO, IF YOU ARE WITH ME.
GO TO JOE BIDEN.COM AND SIGN UP.
>> LET’S FINISH THIS JOB.
I KNOW WE CAN.
BECAUSE THIS IS THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
THERE’S NOTHING WE CANNOT DO IF
WE WORK TOGETHER.
>> Steve: THERE YOU GO.
THAT IS ALMOST THE ENTIRE THREE
MINUTES OF JOE BIDEN’S LAUNCH
VIDEO.
IT CAME OUT THREE MINUTES AND
TWO SECONDS AGO.
IT WAS WE SAW IT A LITTLE
EARLIER THIS MORNING.
IT’S VERY CLEAR, IF YOU REMEMBER
LAST YEAR.
AND IT WAS 4 YEARS AGO TO THE
TODAY THAT HE ANNOUNCED THAT HE
WAS RUNNING BACK IN 2019.
IN THE VIDEO THAT LAUNCHED HIS
CAMPAIGN LAST TIME, HE HAD THE
THEME OF REMEMBER WHO WE ARE.
AND IN THIS ONE, ONCE AGAIN IS
REMEMBER WHO WE ARE.
BUT THIS TIME HE ALSO FOCUSES ON
JANUARY 6TH, ABORTION, MAGA
REPUBLICANS, YOU SEE IMAGES OF
RON DESANTIS, OF DONALD TRUMP,
OF MATT GAETZ AND HE TALKS ABOUT
HOW REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO
TAKE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY.
THEY ARE GOING TO BACK BOOKS.
IT’S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM AND ALL
ABOUT RIGHTS.
>> Ainsley: THAT’S WHAT I
NOTICED IT WAS REALLY MORE OF A
SOCIAL CAMPAIGN SAYING THAT HE
IS SLAMMING THE MAGA
REPUBLICANS, CALLS THEM
EXTREMISTS WHO WANT TO CUT
SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH WE SAW ON
THE HOUSE FLOOR WHICH IS NOT
TRUE OR ON THE HILL.
THEY WANT TO CUT TAXES FOR THE
WEALTHY, HE SAYS.
WE WANT TO FOCUS ON TREATING
EVERYONE WITH DIGNITY.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO BAN BOOKS,
DICTATE WOMEN’S HEALTHCARE
SOLUTIONS AND TELL PEOPLE WHO
THEY CAN LOVE AND REPUBLICANS
MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO VOTE.
STAND UP FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE
AND OUR CIVIL RIGHTS.
>> Brian: I WAS STRUCK BY THE
WHOLE BANNING BOOKS THINGS.
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
THEY DON’T WANT TO PUT HUCK FINN
IN THE LIBRARY CULTURALLY.
THEY DON’T THINK THERE SHOULD BE
SEXUAL EXPLICIT BOOKS IN GRAMMAR
SCHOOL.
IF THAT’S BANNING BOOKS.
WHO YOU LOVE I THOUGHT WE WERE
DONE WITH THIS.
TRANSGENDER SPORTS I THINK
REPUBLICANS WOULD WELCOME THAT
DEBATE OR PUBLICLY FINANCING
TRANSITIONING I THINK THAT’S
INTERESTING AND MAKING IT HARDER
TO VOTE.
OR YOU COULD SAY MAKE PUTTING
INTEGRITY INTO VOTING.
THIS IS WHERE REPUBLICANS ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO TACKLE
ONE-ON-ONE.
IF THAT IS JOE BIDEN PROJECTING
HIMSELF, SELLING HIMSELF, HE
SOUNDS LIKE IS HE DOING A GOLF
TOURNAMENT.
WHISPERING IN THE BACKGROUND
INSTEAD OF TAKING CHARGE I’M IN
CHARGE.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE AND
THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO.
HE IS BASICALLY TRYING TO SAY
LOOK HOW BAD THE OTHER GUYS ARE.
AND THIS IS HIS STRONG WHAT HE
THINKS AND DEMOCRATS THINK IS
HIS STRONGEST SELL.
>> Ainsley: WHO IS BEHIND THIS?
WHO IS REALLY RUNNING THE
CAMPAIGN.
IF YOU LISTEN TO SO MANY PEOPLE
LAST NIGHT VIVEK RAMASWAMY AND
TULSI GABBARD WERE SAYING THAT
VIVEK SAY I SEE MYSELF RUNNING
GUESS A MANAGERIAL CLASS WITH A
PUPPET IN FRONT OF IT.
A FORM OF ELDER ABUSE AND TULSI
GABBARD SAID SOMETHING THAT
SHOCKED THE LIVE AUDIENCE LAST
NIGHT ON SEAN HANNITY’S SHOW.
SHE SAID FOR THEM TO STAY IN
POWER, THEY NEED BIDEN TO RUN IN
THIS RE-ELECTION.
AND WHEN HE CAN’T FUNCTION
ANYMORE, THEN THEY ARE GOING TO
INSTALL THEIR PUPPET KAMALA
HARRIS TO BECOME THE UNELECTED
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THEN SHE RUNS AGAINST IN 2028
WITH THE POWER OF INCUMBENCY
BEHIND HER.
THEY WANT SOMEONE THAT THEY
CONTROL.
>> Brian: SHE IS NOT COMPETENT
THOUGH.
>> Ainsley: SHE WASN’T IN THE
VIDEO.
>> Brian: BARELY.
WHAT DONALD TRUMP SAID YOU COULD
TAKE THE FIVE WORST PRESIDENTS
IN AMERICAN HISTORY AND PUT THEM
TOGETHER AND COULDN’T DO THE
DAMAGE THAT JOE BIDEN HAS DONE
TO OUR NATION IN A FEW SHORT
YEARS.
>> Steve: WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
FOCUS ON.
KEEP IN MIND THEY DID OFFICIALLY
ANNOUNCE THEY’RE RUNS FOR
RE-ELECTION; HOWEVER, DON’T
EXPECT TO SEE MANY CHANGES.
YOU WON’T SEE ANY BIG CAMPAIGN
RALLIES FOR MANY, MANY MONTHS.
>> Brian: EVER.
>> Steve: THERE WILL BE
APPARENTLY A DONOR SUMMIT AT THE
WHITE HOUSE ON FRIDAY WHERE
ESSENTIALLY THEY SAY OKAY, WE
ARE GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
WE PROBABLY NEED $2 BILLION.
WHO IS IN?
>> Brian: A LOT OF BUMPER
STICKERS.
>> Steve: MEANWHILE REGARDING
THE TEAM LOOKS LIKE THE CAMPAIGN
MANAGER JULIE CHAVEZ RODRIGUEZ.
THE DAUGHTER OF THE IT UNION
MANAGER FROM FLORIDA.
QUINTON FULKS.
BEHIND THE SCENES GENERAL MALI.
PREVIOUS CAMPAIGN MANAGER.
NINA DUNN, COMMUNICATIONS PERSON
WILL REMAIN AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND THERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE
LEADERSHIP CHAIRS THAT THEY’RE
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING AS OF
SEVEN MINUTES AGO.
>> Brian: WHAT’S INTERESTING IS
HANGING OVER THIS FRIENDLY POLL
ONLY 26% OF AMERICANS THINK HE
SHOULD ONE AGAIN.
70 PERCENT SAID HE SHOULD NOT.
74% OF 18 TO 34s AN AREA IN
WHICH HE DOMINATED DONALD TRUMP
SAYS HE SHOULD NOT RUN AGAIN.
DONALD TRUMP 35 PERCENT SAID HE
SHOULD RUN.
60 PERCENT SAID SHOULDN’T.
SO THIS IS A REMATCH AND THE
FRONT STORY ON POLITICO IS THAT
DEMOCRATS WANT.
THEY THINK THIS IS THE MAN TO
BEAT DONALD TRUMP.
THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS TRUMP PUT
HIS REPORT CARD UP AND IT’S BEEN
STAPLED TO THE WALL AND NOW WE
HAVE THREE YEARS, TWO AND A HALF
YEARS OF JOE BIDEN AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAY -- REPUBLICANS SAY
INSTEAD OF THE THEORY OF A
MODERATE PRESIDENT THAT IS GOING
TO BRING STABILITY TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE THAT
IS AND YOU MENTIONED SUSAN RICE.
SHE IS NOW OUT WHO KNOWS IF SHE
WILL PLAY A ROLE IN THIS SHE IS
THOUGHT TO BE DOING MOST OF THE
DOMESTIC POLICY AT LEAST
SOMEBODY BEHIND THE SCENES WHO
EXPRESSED OUTRAGE AT XAVIER
BECERRA AND HOW HE ALLOWED THE
BORDER TO COLLAPSE AND HOW
INCOMPETENT HE IS INCLUDING MANY
REPORTS.
WE THINK FROM THE OUTSIDE.
SHE WAS SAYING IT FROM THE
INSIDE.
>> Ainsley: REMEMBER WE TALKED
ABOUT THE TROJAN HORSE ELECTED
HIM ON THE MODERATE STANCE.
EVERYONE THOUGHT HE WOULD BE
MODERATE.
PEOPLE DIDN’T LIKE TRUMP THEY
VOTED FOR JOE BIDEN THINKING HE
WAS GOING TO BE MORE IN THE
MIDDLE.
HE KEPT SAYING I WANT TO UNITE
AND BRING EVERYONE TOGETHER.
HE CAMPAIGNED FROM HIS BASEMENT.
OTHER PEOPLE ENERGY CHIEF OF
STAFF THE CAMPAIGN.
GET HIM IN OFFICE AND CAN
CONTROL HIM.
HE VOTES THE WAY THEY WANT HIM
TO VOTE.
AND THEN THEIR AGENDA, TULSI
GABBARD IS RIGHT.
THEY WILL GET KAMALA HARRIS IN
AND THEY WILL CONTROLS WHITE
HOUSE FOR, YOU KNOW, FOUR
DIFFERENT CYCLES IN A ROW.
>> Steve: HERE’S WHAT THEY ARE
GOING TO RUN ON.
THEY ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
THIS IS HOW IT BREAKS DOWN.
THEY WILL FOCUS ON THE
BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
THAT APPEALS TO THEIR UNION
BASE.
THEY ARE GOING TO FOCUS ON
CLIMATE CHANGE.
THAT FOCUSES WITH THE YOUNGER
PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY.
>> Ainsley: ABORTION.
>> Steve: THEY ARE GOING TO
FOCUS ON HEALTHCARE, WHICH IS OF
INTEREST TO EVERYBODY PRETTY
MUCH THE UNITED STATES.
BUT A PARTICULAR INTEREST TO
SENIORS.
THOSE THINGS AND HIS RECORD IS
GOOD ON THOSE THINGS.
MEANWHILE, ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU
HAVE GOT RON DESANTIS, I KNOW HE
WAS ON WITH SEAN LAST NIGHT.
SEAN WAS TRYING HARD TO GET HIM
TO SAY OKAY.
I’M IN.
DOES HE DO IT?
STAY TUNED.
>> SO I HAVE SAID FROM THE
ELECTION OF 2022 WHEN PENAL
STARTED ASKING ME, WE GOT A
LEGISLATIVE SESSION THAT WE’RE
WORKING ON.
WE HAVE A FEW MORE WEEKS TO GO
WITH THAT WE WILL BE PUTTING UP
A LOT OF WINS ON THE BOARD.
I’M NOT GOING TO BE MAKING ANY
ANNOUNCEMENTS BEFORE THAT’S
CONCLUDED.
>> OKAY.
ARE YOU LEANING ONE WAY OR
ANOTHER?
>> STAY TUNED.
>> Steve: WE HAVE HEARD THAT
UNTIL THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE IS
DONE.
>> Ainsley: I WONDER WHAT TRUMP
WILL SAY ABOUT THAT.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT JOE BIDEN
RUNNING.
HE REFERS TO THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AS A FAILURE.
DID HE SAY THAT ABOUT THE FIVE
PRESIDENTS COMBINED.
ALMOST INCONCEIVABLE THAT BIDEN
WOULD EVEN THINK OF RUNNING FOR
RE-ELECTION.
>> Brian: ONE THING I THINK
NUMBER ONE ISSUE THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE TO WORK AT AND I HAVE NOT
SEEN A COHERENT MESSAGE WHAT YOU
MENTIONED ABORTION.
THE REST OF THE STUFF, I THINK
THE REPUBLICANS COULD FEEL
TOTALLY CONFIDENT SAYING YEAH,
THERE WERE THINGS ABOUT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL.
THAT’S WHERE WE GOT 15 SENATORS
WE LIKE.
SEE HOW THEY EXECUTE AND GET IT
DONE.
ON CLIMATE CHANGE MORE OF AN
ARGUMENT THAT THE REPUBLICANS
WANT MORE THAN EVER.
THEY ARE SEEING HOW IN ALL
PRACTICALITY.
LICENSING OUT OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY AND KNOWING THAT EVERY
ELECTRIC CAR YOU BUY IS A
FEATHER IN THE CAP TO THE
CHINESE BECAUSE THEY OWN 70% OF
ALL THE BATTERY POWER AND THEY
OWN MOVIES THE RARE EARTH AND
THE PLACES THEY DON’T OWN RARE
EARTH LIKE AFGHANISTAN AND CONGO
THEY HAVE LASSOED IT UP AND HAVE
TOTAL INFLUENCE OF THAT AREA IF
NOT CONTROL OF THOSE AREAS.
THERE’S AN EASY WAY TO TELL THAT
STORY WHICH IS IN THE NATIONAL
INTEREST.
AND THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND AT
THE WORLD FALLING PART BEFORE
OUR EYES.
WE ABANDONED FOUR EMBASSIES
SINCE THE PRESIDENT TOOK OVER.
WE SEE WHAT HAPPENED IN
AFGHANISTAN.
WE SEE OUR INFLUENCE WANING IN
THE MIDDLE EAST OF THE COLLAPSE
OF THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS BEFORE
OUR EYES.
LATIN AMERICA, BEING LICENSED TO
THE CHINESE NOT A WORLD AS
BRAZIL, ARGENTINA AND COLOMBIA
GOING TO SOCIALIST COMMUNIST
ORBIT.
THAT WAS NOT TAKING PLACE OVER
THE PREVIOUS REGIME.
THE QUESTION IS WHO CAN MESSAGE
BETTER.
WHO HAS GOT THE ENERGY.
ONE THING IS CLEAR.
JOE BIDEN CAN’T DO THE
MESSAGING.
DONALD TRUMP CAN.
SO IF YOU DON’T LIKE DONALD
TRUMP’S MESSAGE THAT’S PROBABLY
NOT GOING TO WORK FOR YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE OTHER
SIDE.
YOU WILL HEAR IT.
WITH JOE BIDEN YOU ARE GOING TO
NEED A SLICK TAPE OR A
SURROGATE.
>> Ainsley: NOT HEAR ALL SIDES
OF THE DNC.
IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT AND
LOOKING AT ALL THE CANDIDATES.
YOU WON’T HEAR THEM ON THE
DEBATE STAGE DURING THE
PRIMARIES.
SOME OF THE CANDIDATES ARE
UPSET.
MARIANNE BMISON SAID IT’S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
UNDEMOCRATIC.
UNFORTUNATE.
ACTING LIKE NO OTHER DEMOCRATS
RUNNING ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE.
NINA SAYS UNDEMOCRATIC ROBS THE
VOTERS OF CHOICE THAT IS
SUPPOSED TO BE THE DEMOCRATIC
PROCESS.
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE IS NOW LAUNCHING A
WEBSITE SO THEY CAN FACT CHECK
JOE BIDEN IN REAL TIME FACT
CHECK BIDEN.COM.
LYING ABOUT HIS RECORD.
OUR BORDERS ARE NOT SAFE.
OUR BORDERS ARE NOT SECURE.
OUR ECONOMY IS NOT STRONG AND
THE AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL WAS
NOT A SUCCESS. >> Steve: I’M SURE PEOPLE ARE
>> Steve: I’M SURE PEOPLE ARE
LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW
INSIDERS ARE BETTING THAT DONALD
TRUMP WILL BE THE CANDIDATE.
SO THEY’RE PLANNING ACCORDINGLY.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS RAMPING
UP THE CRITICISM OF ALL
REPUBLICANS, CALLING THEM MAGA
EXTREMISTS.
HE WAS AT A UNION HALL IN
MARYLAND A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.
EVIDENCE REFERRED TO MAGA 21
TIMES.
SO CLEARLY CLEARLY THEY ARE
TRYING TO DO THAT WHEN YOU WATCH
THE IMAGERY.
YOU GOT TO ADMIT.
YOU SAID SLICK. IT IS A VERY
WELL-PRODUCED ROLLOUT AD FOR JOE
BIDEN.
NOT EXACTLY NFL FILM
INSPIRATION.
>> Steve: FOR HIS CROWD THAT
VOTED FOR HIM BEFORE.
TO YOUR POINT ABOUT THE NBC POLL
CAME OUT WHERE 70% SAY DON’T
RUN.
WELL NOW HE IS RUNNING.
THEN THE QUESTION IS BECOMES
OKAY, IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM
BEFORE, SINCE HE IS THE ONLY ONE, ARE YOU GOING TO SUPPORT
ONE, ARE YOU GOING TO SUPPORT
HIM AS IT RELATES TO JOE BIDEN.
SIX THINGS DISTURBING DECISIONS
THE VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT
MADE AS IT RELATES TO BUSINESS
DEALINGS CATCH MOMENTUM SMALL
SHOW TO MAJOR SHOW ON THE SIDE.
>> Steve: IT IF THERE IS
SOMETHING THERE AND REPUBLICANS
HAVE PLENTY OF RUNWAY TO FIND
SOMETHING IF IT’S THERE.
>> Ainsley: HUNTER BIDEN IS
SCHEDULED TO APPEAR MAY 1st IN
ARKANSAS FOR HIS BABY’S MOMMA
WHO WANT HIM IN JAIL SAYS HE IS
NOT RELEASING HIS FINANCIAL
RECORDS THROUGH DISCOVERY.
>> Brian: IMAGINE THAT?
WHY WOULD HE NOT WANT TO RELEASE
HESITATE FINANCIAL RECORDS?
GIVE ME A SECOND WE RAN OUT OF
TIME.
I GUESS WE SHOULD TAKE A BREAK.
